I'm only in my early 20's. I'm not pregnant . I have an air con if its hot and have tried to minimize anything that would make me do this. I wake up in the middle of the night as if I have just jumped out of a swimming pool! Why the heck does it happen?

i feel ugly, fat, and cursed. I am 13 years old, and pretty tall. I am 5"6' and 138 lbs, but I have a VERY big chest, (A LARGE 34D), and I go to a private school, with 15 people in my grade.

None of the guys like me, they just call me ugly and fat a lot. Guys that do like me just stare at my chest.

I feel so cursed with my body, since I look MUCH older. I am so mad when men shout vulgar comments, thinking I'm older.

How can I feel better?

I have had a hernia just under the right rib for over15 years. A few years ago I went to a specialist and he was angry for me bothering him. He thought I should ignore the hernia since it had been there so long. Now, the area of the hernia is so sticking out and makes me look heavier than I am. First, does a hernia weigh much and can it make me swell to make my stomach stick out too? Am I wrong to want it removed? Am I too old (60) to have it removed? Please tell me that the hernia weighs 40 pounds so I can have an excues for my weight. Can you help?

My OB-GYN recently prescribed me to take Desogen. I am started it with my next cycle which is due next week. I was wondering if anyone who is currently on it, or has been on it has any information about it that you can't read about. Yeah there is that paper that comes with it that you can read but its not the same as hearing peoples feelings and results from being on it. Please help with any information !

My uncle has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer found in liver, pancreas and lungs, but his oncologist told him that he can "cure" it within six months using chemotherapy. Is this true?

I have pretty bad shy bladder syndrome, and it drives me insane sometimes. I'm a member of a forum for people with this problem, and I have practiced using public bathrooms with some success, but it still interferes with my life. Although I'm on the road to overcoming it, are there any things I can do in the meantime to make it easier to go? Since I'm not 18 yet and we have rules at my house, I wouldn't be able to see a doctor or take any kind of remedies for this problem, but are there certain mental exercises, foods that help with anxiety, etc. that I could try? (I know people often suggest running water or listening to music, but I've tried those and they don't really do anything...) I appreciate any constructive input, but I'd prefer if people didn't just joke around or give mean answers...
I know I've asked this before, but I keep getting the same two answers; I appreciate that those people care that much, but I'd also like to hear other people's suggestions.

does certain medicine show up as positive for drugs? I take Flomax/Uroxatrol for my prostate. Didn't mention it on the application. Now worried it will show up in either urine or blood test they took.

Anyone with knowledge on this I'd appreciate a comment

Thanks

my g/f and i have been dating for about 4 and a half yrs, she's 29, im 22 and a half. About 2 weeks ago she informed me that she was preg and will be keeping the baby. she was on the pill the whole time we were dating (allegedly) so i never used a condom or any other type of birth control. i have a few reasons why i think she got preg on purpose the main one being that i ran into a friend of hers yesterday who congratulated me and said she was happy for us b/c "she knew how much my g/f wanted a baby" which was news to me! i just graduated from college and have a good job now and my g/f has been out of college for 7 yrs so financially this isnt a problem, i just am in no way ready to be a dad b/c of the huge change that bringing a child into the world will have on someone's life. just a few month ago she and i were talking about how neither one of us is ready for marriage yet so that isnt an option. on top of this, my mom is gonna kill me! any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanx.

Is it possible to improve or enhance eyesight by simple exercises for the eyes. There are a bunch of websites that say it IS possible, but many people say it isn't. I already know it is possible to maintain 20/20 eyesight with exercises, but not sure about improving eyesight.

I have been type 2 for the last ten years and taking insulin plus metfo for two years. I take Novorapid with meals and Levemir at night. I have been struggling with hypos since yesterday and don't know why.

I have not had a sudden weight change, have not changed my exercise regime and am not aware of a sudden change in my health. I am not eating less and have not changed what I eat or when I eat so why am I suddenly getting hypos (three in the last 24 hours)?

Last night I ate a normal evening meal (meat, veg, two potatoes, no dessert), halved my normal insulin dose and still went hypo about 9.30pm. This is the same thing as happened the night before when I needed 1 litre orange juice, biscuits, toast and 30g dextrose to stop the hypo and it took 2 hours to get it under control. Fortunately last nice a glass of orange juice and a slice of toast did the trick.

I have asked my consultant about the bad hypo, she said these things happen and didn't know why. But I need to understand it!
